Much Needed Rest

The past few weeks I have been so very busy with all the stuff for my apartment as the new mission director.I have been burning the candle at both ends and it finallycaught up with me. Thursday evening I had some pretty severestomach pain. I had been taking some Zantac for a few days.I added liquid aloe juice and crawled into bed because Icould hardly move. Sometime during the night I woke up witha severe headache. I was afraid to take anything for fearI was developing an ulcer. When I got up I took more liquidaloe ate a light breakfast and finally took something for my head. I spent the majority of the day with my headon the heating pad. My stomach still feels bad but I amstill drinking the aloe juice. Maybe it is all the Mexicanfood I have been eating. I had alot to do but had a kind offorced day of rest. We all need that sometimes!
